Hugo Salles
Hugo Salles is a writer who has spent over twenty years leading teams, experience that put his study of Mahayana and Tibetan Buddhist philosophy in direct contact with the concrete problems of ordinary life: fear, conflict, guilt, attachment, and the decisions that won't wait.
Along the way, he has also translated a selection of sutras into Portuguese, drawing on the canonical texts, respected existing translations and the traditional commentaries.
In The Technologies of the Awakened Mind, he takes the teachings, images and practices tied to Tara, Avalokiteshvara, Manjushri, Vajrasattva and Vajrapani and reads them as methods: ways to train courage, compassion, clarity and discernment that you can test instead of simply believing.
His books rest on one principle: no teaching should be accepted because of who presents it. Try it, watch what happens, and let your own experience be the judge.
